Lynne Featherstone

Given my recent experience of having a man the Government claims is a terrorist threat come to my surgery to ask for my help, it was perhaps obvious that – speaking today at the London Liberal Democrats’ conference – I picked terrorism as the main topic of my speech:

The alternative to Labour’s approach also means recognising that simply saying “terrorists are evil, their acts are inexcusable” doesn’t help understand where their support comes from – and without that understanding, the sources of its support cannot be tacked.

You can read the speech in full on my website.

   It seems that all parties are either ignoring or scared to face the problem if illegal immigration
   in the United Kingdom. While most of undocumented immigrants are hiding and living in misery, J Reid and
   L. Burn are pretending to be in control of the situation. This inertia is will only benefit scrupulous employers

   So far we have been listening only to right wing parties and think tanks. That’s the reason why I decided to
   launch the survey at http://www.skillipedia.com to hear opinions from normal people. Once we get enough coverage
   from the press we will be able to relay the result of the survey to the Home Office

   You opinion is much appreciated
